Any thoughts on my sizing?
IMO you played a beautiful hand quite poorly.
Preflop, you're OOP against 3 limpers so make it a bit more than you usually raise. If your standard is 10-12 from the button then this sizing is fine. Personally I'd have gone for $20 here.
On the flop, you have this flop on lock. It's *very* hard for anyone else to have anything good here (and stacks will go in against the set-over-set coolers however you play it), so either x/c or bet yourself. I'd lean towards betting (small) yourself since there's always a non-believer or two.
There is absolutely no reason to x/raise. There are almost no bad turn cards for you, and you have everyone else crushed. Considering your plan was (apparently) to trap them, continue to give them rope to hang themselves and just call.
x/raising this flop as the PFR is ridiculously strong. I would have alarm bells going off like crazy as a villain here, to the point where I might even fold a lower set.
